Songs You THOUGHT You Knew the Words

[SATX*APhi]

Michael Jackson's "I'm Bad".......kept hearing him say, "I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it"

My sister and I still laugh about a music review we once read. The lady went to a Depeche Mode concert and thought that Dave was singing "Grabbing hands, grapple with clams..." when they were really singing "Grabbing hands, grab all they can..."

The lyrics are
"I'm Blue, I will be a blue guy, I will be a blue guy, I will be a blue guy"

I know this because a radio station I worked for had a contest to see if anyone knew it.. and no one did, so the prize went to the most creative :
"I'm blue, so go eat some french fries..."

When Madonna's song "Dress You Up" came out, I used to say:
"Gonna dress you up with nylons" instead of "Gonna dress you up with my love."

I also messed up Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" I used to say:
"Two of hearts, two hearts that beat Alex won" when it should've been, "Two of hearts, two hearts that beat as one!"

Well, we were all wrong then...but this is the perfect thread for it!

For the longest time I thought Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" went "Hold my close, satanic dancer" when really it's "hold me closer, tiny dancer." I felt sooooo stupid when I heard the real lyrics. For more jumpled lyrics fun, visit Kiss this Guy - Archive of Misheard Lyrics

Wellll...that didn't sound right to me, so I went and checked ther Eiffel65 website.

According to the band's website, the lyrics are as follows:

------

BLUE (da ba dee)

music:Lobina -Randone lyrics:Gabutti- Lobina
mixed by:Angelica Villella



Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself
And everybody around
Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen to………..

I have a blue house with a blue window.
Blue is the colour of all that I wear.
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too.
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue.


Blue are the people here that walk around,
blue like my Corvette, its in and outside.
Blue are the words I say and what I think.
Blue are the Feelings that live inside me.

I'm Blue da ba dee..

-----

So, there ya have it, the radio station was misinformed. The words are indeed, "I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di dee da be dee...."

There's even a sound clip on the website (http://www.eiffel65.com) where one of the band members explains the whole "da ba dee" thing.

Mystery solved!

LOL, thats what we uses to sing when we were talking about Michigan State.

OMG! UMgirl that is so great! Didn't even think of that! I absolutely love that song, and I never thought they were saying anything about green. We'll have to use that at the next UM/MSU tailgate!

My fave are in that Madonna song, I think that name is "La Isla Bonita" I always used to think they were saying "last night I dreamt of a bagel" when they were really saying "last night I dreamt of San Pedro". My other one is Usher's new song "U don't have to call". It sounds like he's saying "u see I, I wouldnt do it for u, but u so shady" when he's really saying "u see I, thought the world of u, but ur still leavin baby". Listen to the song and I swear he's saying shady!!!

Sorry, I was going by the morning prep sheet we got from Associated Press.. that's what I get for trusting the media =)

I'll never forget in highschool I was a part of a competative speech team (Forensics is what they call it). Anyways, it was my senior year, we were on a trip to Bradley University with took about 7 hours...we got to watch Men In Black on the bus. So at the time I did a speech on Campbell's Soup. At the end of the movie, Will Smith's song MIB comes on and there is a part where he says "Cameras Zoom" (I believe). Well we were all jammin and it comes to that line and I bust out "Campbell's Soup"! Everyone looks back at me and starts laughing...I'm like, "What? He said Campbell's Soup!!!" That's my speech! Unfortunately I didn't hear the end of that one for a while!

You know "Spiderwebs" from No Doubt? How everyone put it on their answering machines when it first came out? Well, my best friend from high school thought for years that "I screen my phone calls" was "I screen my balls off!"

[Peaches-n-Cream]

I checked out that misheard lyrics website, and I discovered that I am wrong about the lyrics to The Beatles, I Want to Hold Your Hand. I thought that it was:
And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I GET HIGH, I GET HIGH, I GET HIGH!

when it is
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide!

I never knew that until now.

That damn "Desert Masquarade" song had everyone singing the wrong lyrics. What were they? I know they used it as Mango's theme song on SNL but I never figured it out.

For the longest time, I thought that the one part in Alanis Morisette's "You Oughta KNow," where she says "It's not fair to remind me of the cross I bear that you gave to me" said:

"It's not fair to remind me of the cross-eyed bear..."

The best one I've ever heard was at a Sister Hazel concert...they sing "One Nation Indivisible", and some guy was holding up a sign that said "One Naked Individual"...my boyfriend and I nearly died laughing. The band actually sang the chorus that way for the guy, and then corrected him. It was absolutely hilarious!
